My new stencils - Are now sold out. The stencils are based on one my sketches of a shell I photographed on Moreaki beach on the South Island of New Zealand. The shell is tiny - my sketch is much larger than life size. I had decided to sell the stencil packs at my next show - Fashion, Embroidery and Stitch at the NEC next month - they will be £15 for a pack of 3. My new stencils are laser cut from 350 micron mylar and can be used for all sorts of applications. This post is showing you how to use them with KK Glue but they can be used with paints and sprays just like any other stencil. KK Glue - a very fine glue powder. The bottle has a screw top lid so you can return any surplus powder to the bottle. This retails for £5.9 0 for 50g.  KK Glue is washable up to 40 degrees but when using with transfer foil, the transfer foil is only washable up to  30 degrees.  There are holes on one side of the cap for sprinkling, the other side is for pouring.

I will also add the links on this post.  I thoroughly enjoyed my days with Jamie and her family - I do enjoy working with Jamie and hope we can make new videos that feature both us. I think we work well together. The worktable in the Colouricious studio was rarely clear, I do TRY to keep a tidy table, but rarely suceeed. I am not a good example!!! I tend to ascribe the 'from chaos comes creativity' theory. Choosing blocks from the Colouricious collectio

KK Glue 'anchored' to space dyed S80 (pelmet Vilene) with embossing stamp pad sticky stuff,  then foiled with transfer foil after fixing. Have had a great day today. I met my dear friend Diana Wright this morning for a long, chatty coffee session. Diana lives in Devon so I don't get to see her very often, she was in Brighton visiting family. Diana is co-ordinating my 'tour' of Devon and Cornwall next April/May. Being the vice president of the West Country Embroiderers, Diana knows just about everyone in that area. It was soooo good to see you Diana - I know you will be reading this. Once back home I felt a bit creative so decided to have a play for a few hours instead of clearing up my house - I know - I need to get it done soon!!! I have been experimenting with KK Glue on and off for several months now. Checking it is washable with transfer foils. All my tests have worked out well I am very pleased to say. I have established that the KK Glue wo
